Who doesn’t enjoy a freshly brewed beer full of flavor and body, and even better, if you brewed it yourself! If you find the process of brewing your own beer interesting, keep reading because we have the experts’ advice on how to brew a beer properly from home, the equipment you’ll need, the ingredients, and the basic principles to achieve different styles of a well-brewed beer.
A person doesn’t too need much to start brewing at home, and some of it they may already have. This equipment kit can be purchased at Camp McClellan and other homebrew supply stores:
Contains the basics a beginning brewer needs EXCEPT for boiling pot, bottles, and caps:
As far as the boiling pot, a large stockpot & metal spoon for mashing-this can be done on your stovetop. You would also need a larger boil kettle and a larger burner. A standard ‘turkey fryer set-up works fine; you just need a propane burner with at least 28qt/7gal pot.
It is OK to use an aluminum kettle as long as it has been passivated-(fill the pot with water, boil 15 minutes, then empty-the kettle should now be dull grey on the inside instead of shiny)
I would also recommend an immersion chiller to quickly cool down the wort so that the beer yeast can be pitched sooner, thus leading to less chance of infection by wild yeast.
